Yep or ya know you could try sign a solid former hooker to be on the coaching staff and mentor a young hooker... We do things backwards at the doggies lol

We sure do. I don’t think he is here to be a mentor anyway he will be the number 1 hooker because they couldn’t get anyone else.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

He’d also probably want a lot more money and is a grub off the field

Grubs win footy games man. Guess that's why we are bottom 4.

We know why we are bottom 4 but that’s easily forgotten when there’s a chance to lay the boot into the club

Last thing the Dogs need to be doing is collecting players past their peaks

 

[Teddybear]

Pay will probably switch him to half back

no thanks

why would u sign someone that has already put there body thru 260 first grade games?

I hate all this bullshit around signing “good people” this same board and coach signed CHN and ended up sacking him. It just sounds so stupid when a big deal gets made about people’s good character when making signings because you can never tell what someone is capable of.

 

[Teddybear]

When is channel 7 ever right anyway? Their form is up there with mmm

 

[DinkumDog]

Who needs the comedy channel when you have The Kennel .

The absolute blow-ups on here over an unsubstantiated rumour.

So many were up in arms about Reynolds and that hasn’t happened either.

Deep breath.....and exhale.... .

 

[bradyk]

When and where did he get signed for that much LOLLL

The only report/rumour regarding Thompson's salary was 850k. That was on the DT shortly after we signed him.

 

[2144superman]

This makes absolutely nil sense. He is a hack. Can’t kick. Can’t run. Offers no point of difference- in a club, screaming out for attack. Who is this guys manager? Amazing performance by Him - to find not 1, but 2 clubs to pick up a 2nd rate rake

 

[bradyk]

Yes mate. Put it this way, the Foran money would on its own cover the wages of Bateman, McCullough and a big chunk of Thompson’s.

Foran rumoured to be on ~1.2m

Thompson rumoured to be on ~850k.
Bateman rumoured to want ~800k
Nothing regarding McCullough atm but I'd guess something in the vicinity of 400-500k.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

That's bullshit and you know it ... I'll lay the boot in when it's warranted and now is arguably the most warranted time of the past 3 seasons. I don't think JMK is the answer but I'd rather he just play 80 than sign McCullough

For 400-500k why wouldn’t we entice the Roosters 9 in waiting Sam Verrills and also Brandon Smith couldn’t be on anywhere near that kind of cash so you’d literally entice these next gen players with $$$$

 

[Dogna88]

Soooo... why havnt we tried cogger at hooker?

Nah heard along the grape vine that they aren't good people man sorry

I'm just throwing out a number that makes sense to me but my main point is there is no way Foran's salary is covering Thompson and Bateman, let alone them two plus McCullough. If it was me I'd be throwing 700-800k at Brandon Smith and trying to pull a Bateman on him.

So if we’ve signed mculloch for 4 years whats your take then?

 

[2144superman]

Ponga has agreed to an extension keeping him at the knights until 2025 on $1.1mil a season.

 

[kungfuman]

I would be using the Foran money for Ponga.
Honestly, I’d ask him to write his own cheque...

Pongas already said hes staying at Newy until 2025

 

[Horse]

Soooo... why havnt we tried cogger at hooker?

Because he’s a good halfback who probably hasn’t had a run in the #9 jersey since under 12’s.

I’d rather sign a specialist hooker than take a punt on manufacturing one out of a half.
